~In A Tight Spot~

Bad things happened to heroes. That wasn’t news. Steph had been threatened, beaten up, and kidnapped (once by her own dad), and a couple times the bad guys had tried to kill her. None had succeeded, and even during the other stuff she hadn’t felt like she was in a huge amount of danger. Well, not most of the time. There was always Batman or Batgirl or Robin on the way. Plus the people who tried to hurt her often underestimated her, and that worked to Steph’s advantage. Especially as Robin—the bad guys were too busy laughing at a blonde Robin with boobs, and they let down their guard enough for her to get her licks in.

Now, though, she was scared. After standing up and moving her arms rhythmically within the limits of the cuffs, she got enough feeling back to try working on escaping. First she took stock of her situation. The cuffs were welded to a chain that ran up to a high ceiling somewhere in the darkness overheard. She was nauseous from the blow to her head, and aching all over from the fight earlier and hanging unconscious by her wrists. Her kit was gone, including the lock-picks normally stashed in her gauntlets. She just had her costume itself and her wits.

After a few moments, Steph realized why this situation frightened her so much. It wasn’t being held captive, it wasn’t waking up alone in a big dark room and having to wonder what the bad guys wanted. It was a small detail: the welded cuffs. Someone had taken the time and trouble to weld a set of steel handcuffs to a chain. That meant they used this setup a lot, and didn’t want any chance of someone slipping away.

It meant this might’ve been an unplanned capture, but whoever had her had done this before.

So to clarify, "Smallville" Season 10, Episode 12 - "Collateral" will now air on Friday, February 4th. "Smallville" Season 10, Episode 13 - "Beacon" will now air on Friday, February 11th. *grits teeth* What is this fuckery? *gets L2 and Ella and heads for the WB* Why do I guess less impressed by this studio the older I get?

I'm not sure it has anything to do with the schedule change at all, but SPOILER ALERT, Martha (who is a Senator) gets shot in 'Beacon' and the official description of that episode came out right after Congresswoman Gaby Giffords was shot. :\ A lot of people speculated it would be postponed for that reason. It could also just be that they are trying to load sweeps time with more new episodes. Don't know. I only keep tabs on what footage is coming up that I can use for vids and don't watch the new eps anymore.

That's what it is. Pure fuckery. I'm not sure I've ever seen scheduling like this before, either. And in their last season, too. It's like they just doing give a damn how we feel. And with how little promotion they've been doing, it's just.... *grits teeth*
